Software in cars is not "a new thing". Safety has increased immeasurably in cars over the last few decades, in no small part due to software. Complexity and opacity are a problem, but cars are much safer and more efficient today due in large part to software. I don't think that would have happened if there was some regulatory committee in place to audit the software for safety. We have liability for that, a much better model than a regulatory one.

> However, as the importance of electronics and software has grown, so has complexity. Take the exploding number of software lines of code (SLOC) contained in modern cars as an example. In 2010, some vehicles had about ten million SLOC; by 2016, this expanded by a factor of 15, to roughly 150 million lines. Snowballing complexity is causing significant software-related quality issues, as evidenced by millions of recent vehicle recalls.

Ever since I worked in multi stage stochastic optimization I think of strategies in terms of decisions at each nodes of a tree of scenarios. Basically you want to optimize on the long term objective function, and take decisions at the optimal time based on the cost of indecision and the estimated benefits of having more information. Having probabilities associated to each branching in the tree of scenario also makes it have baked in risk management. This is not so easy to apply in practice but it is worth doing and allows having a much longer horizon: else how could you make a strategy with decisions in 6 months not being dependent on the results of the decisions you take now ?
As another comment pointed out, the main goal of product roadmap is communication, strategy is something else. In this case the roadmap could be the most likely path to take in the scenario/decision tree, with diminishing confidence over time based on the probabilities observed.

Multi stage stochastic optimization is often used in finance/trading (e.g. portfolio optimization), I highly recommend to check it out.

Agree that it did change low level syntax. What was promised initially was that a "use v5" in a lexical scope, would switch to a Perl 5 compatible parser. This project was started, but became pre-empted by the Inline::Perl5 module, which now allows you to use 99.9% of CPAN's Perl 5 modules (even with XS components) seamlessly in Raku. And yes, that is stable enough to be used in production.
4:10, the delivery truck isn't seen until its mostly pulled out. On the right at the traffic lights, It can't see humans

The traffic passing at the intersection is missed most of the time.

That is amateur stuff right there.
in all fairness, the original op did say "basically"... I am peering in a few different IXes in Europe for personal stuff, mostly learning, and i get Apple, Google, Cloudflare, Facebook (even though i dont use them), Netflix and a lot of other places included... I do also agree about the whole "old boys club". My main ISP is Liberty Global (Virgin Media Ireland) and anyone i have talked to about getting a link with tells me its paid peering... would be handy, but too expensive...

Also, they dont peer with Cloudflare direct either... Ahh well...

Do you have a link for that?

> so we might not want stop wearing masks until the case numberes have fallen to less than 5 per 100.000 per week. - we might not want risking that the virus mutates, so we shouldn't use infections amoung the young to get back to normal.

Which backs up my point about being pragmatic. 50% of the UK population are over 50 where COVID risks are dramatically higher. The likelihood of death or serious hospitalization for under 50s is much, much lower. 20-something men in the UK are much more likely to commit suicide, or die driving a car than dying from COVID, or having long-COVID (it's something like 100x more likely IIRC but I can't find a link right now).

> Also if your media perception is shrill world then you might want to change your perceptions/media channels.

I'm not sure what country you are in, but in the UK, at least, the closest to neutral reporting is the BBC, and only for its news bulletins. For everything else, Sky News, newspapers, and so on, the whole approach is just unrelentingly negative, and point scoring against the Government and its advisors.

In the full paper they quote a rather interesting method [1] that allows you to insert values in amortized O(log(n)) time (deletes are apparently handled with tombstones, presumably rebuilding the whole thing when a sufficiently large proportion is deleted).

A very abridged explanation of how they handle inserts: you split the collection in a list of collections where position k contains either nothing or a collection size 2^k. When you want to add a new value you find the first empty spot and fill it by building a set of your new value together with the collections of all the preceding spots (because the sizes are all sequential powers of two this will fit exactly). Provided that merging the collections takes linear time this takes an amortized O(log(n)) per inserted item.

Of course once you have this you can use it for any learned index that can be learned in linear time.

Already now, high-end general purpose computer parts can be more expensive than an embedded, restricted package. The embedded market can operate at a loss because their revenue is based on subscription services. The recent releases of new NVidia and AMD parts is a perfect example: AMD's share of TSMC's capacity was allocated mostly to produce the PS 5 and the Xbox Series X/S, while Samsung (NVidia's fab) clearly couldn't handle the sheer demand for the RTX 3000 series. Fortunately there are several OEM PC manufacturers still, but in the long term they will follow where the market forces blow too.

You would think that wealth/security is what matters but the stats show otherwise. People in poorer countries have more kids than in rich countries. And within developed countries, the poor have more than the middle class which in turn have more than millionaires.

Everybody knows about the life of everybody else. Everybody is ready to criticize you and mess in your business. Everybody believes they know you and you cannot change so you won't change. You are stuck with the same job and, often toxic, relations.

> cash awards for having children being paid by developed countries are laughably far too little, too late in their intention

The developed world urgently needs far less people, not more. Either you think CO2 emissions in the developing world aren't going to keep rising as living standards improve or live in a fantasyland where first world governments worldwide are meeting conservative 4 degree warming targets quick enough.

We need far less children, this is provably the easiest solution with the greatest impact compared to every other measure combined in tackling climate change.
Services I'm using personally yes - and I suspect there's a few people here who do it as well.

As for the services for customers... unless it makes financial sense and you're happy to be effectively responsible for it 24/7 - why would you? Others can do it better and cheaper and you can charge for the initial setup.

There cannot be more people in SF today than SF can already house.

So there cannot be '51' already for '50' homes (by your 1:1 analogy).

If Google wants more workers, they can open up more offices elsewhere, even somewhat nearby. Like Morgan Hill.

I suspect the bottom end of the market is going to disappear.

All great things when they are small. Many small organisations have noble aims.

When they have 2 billion users what's to stop change? We see it all the time.

But I'm talking more generally here: how can we structure our organisations to be resistant to take overs?

Foundations? Cooperatives perhaps? We've seen with some coops (most mutual banks/building societies in the UK) you just need to pay enough members some money to remove the restrictions
Interesting, I think your classification adds some nice colour to the situation.

To me the biggest question, does 2 grow bigger than 3? When X% of people have Telegram, Whatsapp and Signal installed, then it becomes a non-issue to have Signal only sticklers.

> The only real chance here is that since this is all about closed groups that network effects aren't so huge, so a considerable exodus without actual terminal velocity is possible.

This is my experience so far. I think you're right that the network effect is very fragmented and micro. In my case the few active groups that I value have migrated, the rest don't care and could email me or sms me and I've seen sufficient migration to Signal, signalling that moving from 1 to 4 might be viable.
I also learned Japanese in a classroom in Japan. At the elementary level, some of the teachers used English to explain grammar and vocabulary, but from the intermediate level the classes were conducted entirely in Japanese. While some teachers and learners believe strongly in monolingual immersion as a matter of principle, at the school I attended in Tokyo there was a more practical reason for choosing that approach: most of the students were from other East Asian countries and did not understand English.

Outside of class, though, I memorized vocabulary mostly using English translations from dictionaries rather than definitions in Japanese until I reached quite an advanced level. That was a mixed bag. On the one hand, it was easier for me to remember Japanese words when I associated them with a particular English word; on the other, the translation I memorized sometimes actually referred to something different from the Japanese word. It took a lot of exposure to real-life Japanese to unlearn some of those mistranslations.

Some years ago, I wrote a paper about the use of Japanese-Japanese dictionaries by people learning the language:

* Data Structures. An understanding of how to package and access data in your code is more important than any junior can possibly understand.

* Stupidity Avoidance. Solve hard problems first. Observe your peers who can’t solve hard problems.
That's how messaging worked on Maemo/MeeGo on the Nokia N900 and N9.

> The average person isn't the one that needs convincing

Only with the one-China principle in place can the Taiwan Straits avoid miscalc
The Chinese mainland conducted a series of aircraft exercises in the southwest airspace of the island of Taiwan on Saturday and Sunday, sending 13 and 15 fighter jets respectively in the two days, many of which were main combat aircrafts of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The Taiwan authorities are feeling the pressure, and the US State Department had issued a statement, urging the Chinese mainland to "cease pressure against" the island while reaffirming its commitment to the island. However, the juxtaposition of the three China-US joint communiqués, the Taiwan Relations Act and the six assurances mentioned in the US statement this time differs from the Trump administration's refusal to mention the three joint communiqués in his later period.

Edit (added these sentences): from my limited knowledge, the worst problem was that Boeing changed the trim-cutout switches (https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boein...), which rendered past (assumed) knowledge of how to disable MCAS if shit hits the fan obsolete. Imagine you're in panic, realizing you've got the same problem as another plane which just recently crashed, try to disable MCAS by turning those switches and what happens doesn't match what you expect. I'd have a hard time keeping cool.

> completely random data can't be compress

Given that a normal B-Tree can't retrieve the original order, it must be more compressible than random data and a representation that would let you represent a wrong order has invalid sequences, so it must be less space efficient than one that would use those sequences to mean something valid.

The Western urge for constantly rethinking and reevaluating history and traditions, for innovations in art and science, does not lead to an inherently stable society in the long run that spans across centuries. The changes themselves introduce new kinds of problems requiring new solutions, and that affects the societal structure in unpredictable ways.

Japan and South Korea are western only in a superficial sense, in that they have copied the basic institutional structure of the industrialised West. However, the main forces acting on that structure are rather different, and the main actor is certainly not the "egoistic, cold, self-interested, autonomous individual".

As a person who hates to kill bugs (they're alive and absolutely required in nature), I have an agreement with them in my mind:

- The outside is yours, you can do whatever you want there.

- Inside the walls is my own territory. I want you in minimum numbers there.

- If you're an harmless bug (most except cockroaches, centipedes and venomous animals), I'll transport you to nature with utmost care.

Notes:

- Balconies are outside.

- I'll try my best to not to poison outside or kill you in high numbers unless you try to invade my home.
I fail to see how permitting, etc. has anything to do with battery capacity. The only thing that will matter is price per kWh of storage and if used batteries can be sourced, binned and serviced reliably.

Perfectly reasonable stance, except that what will happen is that you will pay more taxes and people will continue dying in the streets, most probably in even greater numbers over time.

The Amiga had a large part of its regular OS libraries in ROM, and the base OS was available directly to the bootloader on the floppy.

You could ignore it and access the hardware directly, if you wanted, and many games did, but you could also use the OS if you wanted to.

The default bootloader would basically just say "launch the default shell and tell it to load the startup shell script file".
Why not wipe out pigs and birds, too? That will take care of some more pandemics.

> so it proves nothing.

Which, unfortunately, does not matter. You don't win arguments with proof, you win with persuasion.

Proofs are but one tool that can be used to persuade the other party, but if the proofs are not clear and quick, usually the other side will feel they are right - "they have won the argument"

On the other hand, a quote like this may well be persuasive to many, and they will feel you are right - "you have won".

This is not "the ends justify the means" - this is understanding how people argue.

There are those that argue on a purely intellectual level; Richard Feynman describes such a conversation with Einstein Oppenheimer and Bohr. But that was noteworthy enough for him to recall it twenty years later!
